Tyler Dalbey

BootcampSF

Spending her childhood in both Costa Rica and England, Tyler has always been on the move. Having a knack for getting in on what the locals did for fun, Costa Rican surfing was an easy fit for this girl with energy to spare. Catching waves with her Dad is still one of her favorite ways to spend a tropical afternoon. Back in the States she gets her thrills by sprinting and running hurdles for SFSU, wakeboarding with friends in the summer and heading to Tahoe during the winter to snowboard. Her inspiration to train others outdoors comes from being able to pass on her lifelong passion for fitness: it happens in that moment when her class is finishing an early evening jog along Crissy Field, breathless, smiling and it’s clear they are loving the workout just as much as she is.
